Latest AirPods powered by the H1 Chip double the talk-time and come with an optional wireless charging case.

Remember the first generation AirPods introduced September 7, 2016? It was meant to go with the release of the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch Series but was delayed for a few months until December. Since 2016, not much had changed but the AirPods’s Second Generation may provide the improvements, you’ve been waiting for your listening experience.

The new AirPods offers 50% more talk time without needing to recharge, a handsfree Siri Experience and an optional portable recharge case for your buds. How cool is that? And you can order both today. Finally, with “Hey Siri” you will be able to change songs, switch to make a call, adjust the volume or get directions simply by saying, “Hey Siri.” and will sync with your other Apple devices, including the iWatch.

“The world’s best wireless headphones just got even better with the new AirPods. The AirPods are powered by the new Apple-designed H1 chip which brings an extra hour of talk time, faster connections, hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ and the convenience of a new wireless battery case,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing in a press statement.

All the charging case models hold additional charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time while the Wireless Charging Case offers the freedom of wireless charging with Qi-compatible charging solutions.
